Sometimes, Brilliant Minds only has a so-so case of the week to justify focusing primarily on the characters and their interpersonal drama -- see, for example, the Season 2 premiere.

Typically, the worst thing about any documentary is the supposedly dramatic re-enactments. Famously terrible, the lot of them. The concise elevator pitch of Netflix’s True...

Despite a very cool opening shoot-out, Jesse laying the smack down on a bar full of people, and Billy getting his bloody revenge on Miguel all in the span of Episode 2, “Two Shots”, I still find myself oddly uninterested in Billy the Kid Season 3.

If there’s a better show in 2025 than Task, I’d be interested to see it. You can always rely on HBO to just ride into town and drop extremely high-quality prestige TV on a semi-regular basis, to an extent that it almost feels unfair to other networks and platforms.

I think I know who Cipher is, or at least who he’s a puppet of. The mysterious new dean of God U has been a...

Sorry, but what is going on here? The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon returned for Season 3 with seemingly no idea what it was doing, and then it just got inexplicably good without warning, and continues that trend in Episode 5, “Limbo”.

I’m getting a bit sick of Tyson. To be fair, I was sick of him throughout most of Tulsa King’s second season, too, but I thought he might have learned his lesson in time for Season 3.

You can tell we’re getting to the end of The Rainmaker now, since there’s a real fist-pump quality to Episode 8 as the tables finally begin to meaningfully turn.

You’re not supposed to quite know what to make of the ending of Steve, particularly its final frames depicting the titular headteacher climbing a ladder...

Steve is named after Cillian Murphy’s character, a spiralling reform college headteacher who’s in the midst of a substance abuse-accelerated mental breakdown. The movie isn’t...

Invasion never does itself any favours, does it? After finally injecting some pace into Season 3 with the reveal that Infinitas were really an alien-worshipping death cult, it pumped the brakes immediately for an explanatory flashback episode nobody wanted.

It might have taken ages for Peacemaker Season 2 to finally get good, but now that the ball’s rolling, it has quickly generated enough speed to carry right through into the finale.

You could have predicted the ending of The Game: You Never Play Alone after the first couple of episodes. I’ll provide a bit more clarity,...

Coming as a surprise to precisely nobody, the video game industry is pretty aggressively male-dominated. That’s a reality that is, thankfully, beginning to change, but...

You can’t keep a good Supe down, or so the saying that I’ve just made up goes, and it’s similarly difficult to keep them locked up, too.

As predicted, High Potential Season 2 is losing a bit of steam after wrapping up the Game Maker storyline so quickly.

We’re three episodes into Season 4 of The Morning Show, and someone’s already on their way out the door.

We all know a Roddy Ho, and we all went to kill him, so you can understand why the first order of business in Slow Horses Season 5 has been to determine whether Roddy’s attempted assassination is part of some wider scheme.
